"Make a mark".

"Paris-Roubaix is the last of the Flandriennes. We hope it will be favorable to us because so far we have not lived up to our expectations despite Greg van Avermaet's third place and Oliver Naesen's fourth place in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
We have a lot of desire, we have talented riders . We want to make our mark because our classic group has a lot of potential. Like many teams, a number of our riders riders have fallen ill in recent weeks and have had difficulty recovering, like Oliver Naesen.
Paris-Roubaix remains a race like no other where success is required.
Benoît Cosnefroy's fine second place in the Amstel Gold Race showed us the way."
